About Gen(Z)AI Program for Young Canadians

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the way we work, live, think, and interact. But, while young Canadians are some of the most digitally connected people, we remain largely absent from decision making about this technology. As the Canadian federal government ramps up its AI strategy, we believe that it’s  essential to have youth voices at the forefront of this conversation – not as an afterthought, but as a guide for the future of AI in Canada.

Over the next six-months, we’ll convene 100 young Canadians across four regional forums in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Halifax to hear from you directly. You will learn from experts, deliberate with other young people, and build policy consensus that has the potential to impact Canada’s legislative and regulatory approaches to AI.

• Sponsor Organisation: The Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy
